Endometrial polyps are the benign localized overgrowth of endometrial tissue composed of a variable amount of gland, fibroblast-like spindle cells stroma, and thick-walled blood vessels. They develop as a result of unbalanced estrogens and progestin. Polyps greater than 4 cm are considered giant polyps. We report a case of giant endometrial polyp in a postmenopausal woman who presented with postmenopausal bleeding without any history of hormone or drug intake. However, the possible cause may be the age and use of phytoestrogens in the daily routine diet for a long time.
子宫内膜息肉是子宫内膜组织的良性局限性过度生长,由数量不等的腺体、成纤维细胞样梭形细胞间质和厚壁血管组成。它们是雌激素和孕激素失衡的结果。直径大于4厘米的息肉被视为巨大息肉。我们报告一例绝经后妇女的巨大子宫内膜息肉病例,该患者出现绝经后出血,且无任何激素或药物摄入史。然而,可能的原因可能是年龄以及长期在日常饮食中使用植物雌激素。
